OK, this is just cool: We all know birds fly in V-formations, but an in-depth study into the pattern using high-tech GPS sensors has found just how precise a science the flight model is. After ...

WADDEN SEA NATIONAL PARK, Denmark - It's an amazing sight: Hundreds of thousands of migrating starlings in the skies over Denmark. Bird watchers flock to watch the massive group of birds that make ...

NEW YORK – The next time you see birds flying in a V, consider this: A new study says they choreograph the flapping of their wings with exquisite precision to help them on their way. That's what ...

Flying birds often arrange themselves into a crisp, perfect V, so why not an S? What's wrong with M and B and the other neglected letters? Now the first extreme close-up of birds flying in a V ...

Migratory birds coordinate their wing flaps with much more finesse than previously thought, so as to reap the best energy savings from flying in formation, suggests a new study. In 2011, as part of a ...

Migrating birds fly in a V formation, allowing them to save energy, which could be a life saver in their long journey. The formation, however, can be particularly difficult for the lead bird. How then ...

DEAR JOAN: My friends and I have a question, but none of us seem to have the answer. We quite often see large and small flocks of birds in the sky, flying in such beautiful, graceful formations. What ...

Researchers have found new evidence to support the longstanding theory that birds fly in a V formation to conserve energy during long flights. In accordance with the current theories on aerodynamics, ...

When birds fly south for the winter, how do they keep from bumping into each other? —Elaine Temper, St. Louis, Mo. Birds are "like chorus girls"—and not just because of the feathers. When the leader ...

Their position and the timing of wing flaps allows them to use energy efficiently Sensors attached to a flock of ibises allowed researchers to reach conclusion Research helps confirm theories ...
